Comment (by romanb):

 Replying to [comment:3 davehimself]:
 > I feel that to say the patch is wrong is a little harsh. Not supporting
 this type is a show-stopper for me. I would hate to not be able to use
 Doctrine on account of a "non-portable type". IMHO, if Doctrine will not
 support "non-portable" types, then can the type abstraction be factored
 into classes with an API to allow users to define their own types? I
 looked for this functionality in the docs, but did not find it. I just
 assumed that it was not available.

 We are going to do sth like that in 2.0 (API for types and custom types).
 I am not sure at the moment how to deal with this in earlier versions like
 1.0. Maybe we should open up the gates and just allow any kinds of column
 types, leaving the portability choice entirely to the user? We ended up
 doing this for functions in DQL, too, maybe we should do this here, too.
